To me, a project's "hype-ness" is the ratio of how much attention it gets over how useful it actually is to users.
As a browser, Ladybird usefulness is currently quite limited for obvious reasons. This is not meant to dismiss its achievements, nor to overlook the fact that building a truly useful browser for everyday users is something few open source teams can accomplish without the backing of a billion dollar company. Still, in its present state, its practical utility remains limited.
Anything trying to break the browser monopolies in a meaningful way deserves the hype, IMO.
Fair point. What does Ladybird need to achieve in your opinion to shake the "hype" label? Honestly, I, myself, don't have a good answer!

Good verdict. I agree.
Ladybird will have to deliver eventually - on this part I think many people agree with.

A release (?)
Somehow people manage to run it without this magical release
